Hello,

After reading this:
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2011/10/06/plans-for-1-8-7

We will support mageia 2 for 18 months (May 2012 to Nov 2013). But
upstream will end ruby 1.8.7 at the time of June 2013. That means, we
won't have any support from upstream even for security issues from
June 2013 to Nov 2013. Of course, if mageia 2 be delayed....

Should we update ruby into 1.9 so that we still have support from upstream?

Especially the answer from current maintainer pascal.

Regards.
